Sensory Features: This late harvest shines with an intense golden color and captivates the nose with beguiling scents of rose petals, dried - and citrus fruits. The palate reflects a powerful, well-structured wine with pleasant residual sugar and subtle integrated acidity. A mild fragrance of honey accompanied by an intensive juiciness and complexity provide a round, harmonic and long lasting after taste.
